Billy Goat

Trace me so gently with your q tip pen Put me with your floss my fair weather friend You live at the junction where all the people flow So I'm not the only one with a hand that shows With nothing rough she's 300 an hour And she won't let on that you're under her power Men who only share if they get a cut Under threat of violence case open and shut You got me knocked down by a billygoat She'll be fired if she can't write a suicide note And prove what it says is what she actually wrote By dawn A good product at a reasonable price Leaving the rent to the apostles and Christ Dogs bark at me keep away from the snacks But when they go inside I'm always sneaking back Someone may have told you about my various debts I assure you there are wheels in motion Speeding down hill to whatever is next And pills pressed with imprints of emotion Do the right thing don't rile things up Because a few bodies here don't mean a f*ck I wouldn't be a hero I wouldn't try your luck Tonight You got me knocked down by a billygoat She'll be fired if she can't produce a suicide note With proof that what it means is what she meant to denote By dawn Rate me on a scale of one to ten Out of all your past lovers and friends I really wanted you to stick around But like everyone else you have plans to attend To Everyone else filters in and around People I never got to know enough I often stop to breathe in every sound See you're not the only one who fabricates the profound
